EAS2GBB386CHECKING THE RELAYS
Check each switch for continuity with the pock-
et tester. If the continuity reading is incorrect,
replace the relay.
1. Disconnect the relay from the wire harness.
2. Connect the pocket tester ( 1) and bat-
tery (12 V) to the relay terminal as shown.
Check the relay operation.
Out of specification  Replace.
